What should Bungie do about material farming?
Material farming is really getting out of hand here.
Its getting really common to see fireteams of 3 just head onto a planet for the sole purpose of farming materials. Sometimes, they even interrupt diligent Guardians who are completing patrol missions, and 'invite' them(usually by vigorous punching and pushing) to partake in their farming activity with them.
This is by all intents and purposes an exploit. Materials are not meant to be 'looked for' or routinely farmed. They are meant to be a pleasant surprise as you appreciate Destiny's beautiful environment and even then, limited by the amount you can gain per day.
I hope Destiny takes the same action that as they did to those unlimited ammo exploiters back at the games launch. Ban these '100 SPINMETAL/HR RUNS' on youtube harshly and permanently.
Discuss.
EDIT : 450 replies. I am glad to see that I have inspired intense discussion in my fellow forumers. Right now, the consensus seems to be that materials ( ascendant or regular) need to only be dispensed through the Nightfall, once a week.
I am in agreement. Hopefully we get confirmation from Deej soon.
EDIT 2 : Okay, okay. This thread was a joke. I thought people would be able to tell by the biased poll options and dumb content.. Lighten up, lol.

Yeah... Where's the option of "nothing. It's fine" since you can CHOOSE to not farm or to farm.
-
None of the above let people farm what they want

1 ReplyYour kidding me right? I usually keep a level head on these forums but this is completely ridiculous. I'm not even sure what your even arguing here. Materials were put in this game to be farmed. It's a time sink created to keep players from gearing up to fast. Even if you have a full fireteam your still gonna gain the same amount of materials per hour, maybe even less cuz you have to wait for your team to show up to grab them.

Dude youre a -blam!-ing crybaby bitch. Nothing needs to be done

Lol... I hadn't read the post itself, but was seriously looking for an option to vote thinking... "All of these choices are horrible!!" Bravo

5 RepliesThe stupid is strong with this one...

None of the above

Your wrong

2 RepliesGet rid of materials because it's a meaningless system. (The planetary materials anyway.)
-
Poll is totally biased and therefore irrelevant . These games are all about farming, grinding etc . Get used to it.
-
Even better, let's make all resources micro transactions where you have to pay even more real money to get access to them . Lol

oh cool...another troll thread. [yawn]

Edited by Celoxamortis: 10/23/2014 8:58:27 PMIs this satire? If so, you forgot the hashtag for it. The sheer amount of materials needed to upgrade items is insane and has been pushing people away. I can attest to this because I have friends and co-workers who, upon seeing the level of grind necessary to upgrade items, have decided to quit instead of spending hours farming. If anything, the materials need a BUFF, not a NERF. There really needs to be a materials trader too. Someone on the damn Tower who will take 3 of one Planetary Material and trade it for 1 of a different type. And the Vanguard/Crucible vendors need to straight sell Ascendant Materials for marks rather than make players go through the lunacy of buying a piece of gear or weapon and dismantling it.

Pretty biased poll IMO, mat farming seems fine to me in its current form, annoying....at times, monotonous.....certainly, but I don't see any reason to change it, it doesn't really take that long to farm what you need
-
We'll you can't explore the planets the only reasons to got there is for bounties and materials
-
This thread made me smile. Always funny how people take this so seriously.

3 Replieswhy is there no "none of the above option"?

Edited by Kaph: 10/23/2014 8:47:25 PMNot voting because I disagree with all of your options. If you're going to poll, don't offer a biased poll. Consensus? Yeah right. That's like asking "Is Ice Cream Great?" and offering "Oh yeah!" and "Hell Yeah!" and "It's awesome I can't even...". [quote]Material farming is really getting out of hand here.[/quote] How in the post-collapse solar system is material farming disrupting anyone?
-
Should be a fourth choice on your poll... The OP is an absolute moron... I bet it would get the most votes... Damn... Take any more "fun" out of this game, and there will be no point... Material farming is part of this game... Unless they choose to sell it trade it at a vendor that is...

2 RepliesNot sure if trolling...or retarded ;|

Amazed at how far I got down this thread and people were still taking this seriously smh

Just when I thought i'd seen it all. There is nothing wrong with farming materials. It's part of the in game economy, which does not need to suffer any more than it currently does. People for the most part should be able to play the game as they see fit. Honestly what does farming material really do for you? A few rep points and marks. And yes if you have ever played any game with a loot system farming is a staple of the game. We don't need to be even further limited on loot or resources in this game, period. Are you really just upset that a fireteam intrudes on your favorite spot to complete headshot bounties or farm 10 majors or ultras forcing you to take longer or go elsewhere? Or is it that you do not have the luxury of time to do this yourself? Or just not how YOU envision the game? Too many people are too worried about what others are doing.

It's getting really common to see people on this forum upset about the way their peers play. It's especially strange considering the amount of materials someone has literally has no effect on them whatsoever. Why are you people so intent on making other conform to the way you want to play the game? If you want others to play the exact way you do, go make your own damn game. I understand the community needs to have a voice, and everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, but why the hell do we need things like this changed? Why is it necessary to limit our gained materials to 16 per day? Why do you want to limit the amount of armour someone is able to gain from farming when it has no negative effect on you? In fact, I can find more positive effects gained from farming, than negative. In example, that lower level player that's having trouble fending off enemies in the Vault, with all those shards he has gained from the beginning of the Vault can be put to good use, except, he/she doesn't have the required materials to upgrade. So, he/she has to go gather up some relic iron for those awesome legendary boots, henceforth, allowing him/her to fully participate in the Vault, and lead his/her team to victory. A negative example, nothing left to do after completing the Vault, and dailies/weeklies.
